TIPS AND HINTS POPCORN AMOUNTS Kernels ¼ cup Vegetable Oil 1½ teaspoons 1 3 cup 2 teaspoons ½ cup 1 tablespoon Popped Popcorn Approximately 8 cups popped popcorn Approximately cups popped popcorn Approximately cups popped popcorn Note: Premium popcorns yield less, by about 2 cups. The seasoning possibilities for popcorn are endless. Just add melted butter and your favorite seasonings to a bowl of popcorn. With toppings added, popped popcorn will become much crisper and the flavors become more intense if it is heated with desired toppings in a 300 F oven for about 15 to 20 minutes before serving. For best results, heat it on a baking sheet that you have lined with foil and sprayed with cooking oil. Note: Serving bowl should not be put into oven. It is very important to use fresh popcorn. If your popcorn is old, the kernels will not fully pop and/or it may take a long time for them to pop. 6
